     Garm bays loudly

     before Gnipahellir;

     the fetter shall break,

     and the greedy wolf [shall] run.

     For I see far [i.e. much],

     I can say a lot

     about the fate of the gods (Ragnarok),

     the strong deities.

     ríða menn dauðir, […]

     which I think I see,

     or the doom of the gods (Ragnarok)

     that dead men ride, […]  ?
